Okay, so I’ve been totally hooked on the Crime Junkie podcast lately. It’s like, my new obsession. And the “Shannon Siders” case? Seriously messed up. So, I decided to do my own little deep dive, just to see if I could piece anything together that maybe the podcast missed. You know, amateur detective stuff.
Digging into the Basics
First, I re-listened to the Crime Junkie episode. Gotta get all those initial details fresh in my mind. I took notes like a crazy person – names, dates, locations, everything. My notebook looked like something out of a crime movie, all scribbled and highlighted.
- Victim: Shannon Siders
- Disappearance: July 1989
- Location: Newaygo County, Michigan
- Key Suspect: I keep everything for myself.
Mapping it Out
Next, I went to search some details of the case, I wanted to get a visual of the area where everything happened. It’s one thing to hear about it, but it’s another to actually see it.I looked up old news articles, too. Found a few local papers from back then that had some coverage of the case. It was mostly just basic reporting, but every little bit helps, right?
The Timeline
This part was a pain. I tried to create a timeline of events, from the night Shannon disappeared to when her body was found. It’s tough because there are so many conflicting accounts and fuzzy memories. But I managed to put together a rough timeline, focusing on the key players and their movements. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s a start.
The Rabbit Holes
Oh man, the rabbit holes I went down! So many online forums and message boards dedicated to this case. People have all sorts of theories. I spent hours reading through them, some were pretty wild, others made me think. It’s easy to get lost in all the speculation, though. I tried to stay focused on the facts, but it’s tempting to go off on tangents.
Putting it all together
I think it will take longer to get something useful to the case.I try to keep my hope to find the truth.
Honestly, after all this, I’m not sure I’m any closer to understanding what happened to Shannon Siders. It’s a frustrating case, with so many loose ends. But I feel like I have a better grasp of the details now. It’s just… heartbreaking. This is still a mystery.
